the distinction
between
r
and
T.[6] For
since
I
attribute
completely
differ-
ent oscillations
there
to
the
resonators and
merely regard
the
probability
law
as
common
to
the
ap’s
and
dp’s,[7]
absolutely no
basis remains for
the
assumption
r
T.[8]
Besides,
I
can
select
the
validity
ranges
for
the
individual oscillation
series in such
a way
that
all these oscillations arrive
simultaneously
at
the
inter-
section
point;
thus
I also
obtain
for
the
resulting
oscillation
a
series
that
is
valid
over
the entire
development range.
At
the
same
time,
in
taking
into account
the
variable
distribution
density
of
the
resonators and in
taking
into account
the
absorption,
the
fraction
sinp'pT/np'pT is
replaced by a
similar
fading
function of
p'
-
p,
without the
zero
values
of
this
fraction.[9] Therefore,
the
linkage
continues
to
stand.
Now
in
closing,
another
comment
that
may
not
be
quite necessary. You,
like
many others,
use
for
the
light generation process
the
image
of
a
single
impact
with
subsequent free,
damped
oscillation.
Obviously,
I
know
the
reasons
behind
it.
But
is
it
correct?
I
consider much
more
formal
a
theory
with characteristics
that take into account
the
order in
a single
resonator’s oscillation.
Whether
I
can
cope
with
such
a
theory I
do not
yet
know
today, though.
I
am
naturally
very eagerly looking
forward
to
your reply
to
this letter.
I
realize
now
already
that
I
still have to
rearrange
and
develop
the
paper very
much.
This
will undoubtedly
occupy
me
up
to
the
summer
holidays.
If
you
presently
still have reservations
about
it,
as
I
am
submitting
it to
the
Annalen,
you
will
receive
a
carbon
copy
from
me
and
can,
of
course,
submit
your opinion
directly to
the
Ann.[10]
Otherwise,
I
remain,
with
cord[ial]
greetings, yours,
M.
Laue.

To Heinrich
Zangger
[Berlin,]
28
May
1915
Dear friend
Zangger,
Your
news
pleased me exceedingly.
I
am
glad
that
you
write
me so
much
and in
such
detail,
and
that
my
dear children
are
doing
well,
particularly
that
Albert
is
in
such
good company.
I
can’t
say
how much
I
am
looking
forward to
visiting you
in
the
middle
of
July. Although
I
ought
to be
teaching
to
the
end of
July,[1]
I shall
excuse
myself
from these
few
lectures.
If
Levin[2]
also
comes,
and
your
Frenchmen,
that
will certainly
do
no
harm.
You
know
me.
I
kindly request
that
the
magneton people[3]
send
me
their
objections
in
writing,
as
I
am
very
interested
in them.
Besides,
I
am
quite willing
to
demonstrate
the
experiments
